Olivia Munn’s range is about to be on full display, as Deadline reports that she’s been cast in two extremely different films. One is a rom-com by Dean Craig called Love, Wedding, Repeat that will feature Munn as the love interest of a man helping his sister with her wedding. It’s filming in Rome next month, so if you have any meetings with Olivia Munn, they will have to be Skypes. She’s also been cast as the female lead in The Gateway, which is described as “a thrilling social drama ensemble that touches on family and the American prison system.” It’s set to be directed by Michele Civette and Munn will be playing the mother of a young girl, Ashley, whose father’s early return from prison “brings violence and disorder back into their lives.” Their no non-sense social worker Parker Jode must then decide how far he is willing to go to protect them. It doesn’t say where that one is filming, but suffice it to say Olivia Munn is doing just wonderfully, so there.
